In the past, Lad Pho canal was excavated as the shortcut linking between the north and
the south of Chao Phraya River’s bend of watercourse around the area of village 9, Song

vicinity. On 7 November 1995, His Majesty the King conveyed an initiative to Mr.
Ruruang Chulajata, Director General of the Royal Irrigation Department, Pol. Gen.
Chamlong Iamchaengphant, Assistant Director General of Royal Thai Police and Mr.
